1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

problem addressedAdults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are a complex population that could benefit from improved care coordination across health and social sectors, as they experience poorer health and have higher rates of emergency department use and hospitalization due to ambulatory care-sensitive conditions. OBJECTIVE OF PROGRAM: To pilot a novel, enhanced model of care coordination for complex patients with IDD. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Health Links is a provincial care-coordination program for patients with complex health care needs. This pilot program adapted Health Links to include a guide and training specific to adults with IDD to ensure that these patients' needs were met and high-quality, efficient care was provided.

conclusionA tailored care-coordination approach for adults with IDD was able to identify complex patients in need and successfully bridge cross-sectoral care.
